Conversions happen when we successfully move a customer from browsing or considering to making an actual purchase. On the other side of that, there is a phrase we like a lot less; bounce rate. Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who visit maybe one page on our site and then leave without further action.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Higher_The_Better\"><\/span><strong>The Higher, The Better<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing what our boundaries are is a good starting point in identifying where our conversion and bounce rates lie.

An average bounce rate would lie between 40 and 55%, while an excellent one would be below 40%. If your bounce rate is above 70%, then you need to look closely to identify what is causing it.

A high bounce rate means that your SEO will suffer along with you getting sub-optimal visitor engagement.<\/p>\n<p>How easy, though, is it to get lower bounce rates? We looked at some of the best tactics to help you achieve higher conversions and lower bounce rates. Here they are!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Tactics_to_Get_Lower_Bounce_Rates_and_Increase_Conversions-2\"><\/span><strong>6 Tactics to Get Lower Bounce Rates and Increase Conversions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><strong>1. Split Test Site Elements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing to understand is that people may click away from your page for what may seem the most trivial of reasons &#8211; the colors you use, the font, the images you have inserted into the page, even how things are placed on the page can make a difference. If someone doesn\u2019t like some aspects of how the page has been put together, they simply won\u2019t hang around for long.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optimizely.com\/optimization-glossary\/split-testing\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Split testing<\/a> (also known as A\/B testing) is perhaps the most important tactic when it comes to dealing with your bounce rate. You create a base page to use as your guide, establish what the bounce rate is for that page, then make different variations of that page with simple changes in elements like signup forms, CTA buttons, headlines, etc. to see which one performs better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.invespcro.com%2Fblog%2Fab-testing-statistics-made-simple%2F&amp;psig=AOvVaw19td5d1epFoHC07g_JCyEd&amp;ust=1617699266561000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAMQjB1qFwoTCJiH38Xd5u8CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAP\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49824 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"AB Testing\" width=\"858\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1-1536x641.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog2.1new-1.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/>Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For example, you create a product page that has a baseline bounce rate of 80%. You then make changes to that page to see how it impacts the 80% figure. Different images may reduce it to 74%, changing some of the color schemes may further reduce it to 60%, and then a final change on text placement may bring it down further to a more acceptable 48%.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><strong>2. Only Use Exit-intent Pop-ups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pop-ups can be a useful tactic to get lower bounce rates, but one that should be used with a degree of caution. If you use too many pop-ups across your site, users may view their experience as negative and their visit will be limited to a single page. If possible, use only exit-intent pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want pop-ups appearing every time a user clicks on something. Where they can be extremely useful, though, is when a user indicates an intent to leave (for whatever reason).<\/p>\n<p>A simple pop-up asking them how you can help them with anything, or asking if they want to subscribe to your mailing list can be a potential trigger that leads to lower bounce rates and increases conversions. Moreover, you can offer them exclusive discount coupons through the pop-up to boost retention.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-49832 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.4new-300x146.jpg\" alt=\"exit intent pop up\" width=\"823\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.4new-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.4new-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.4new-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.4new.jpg 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engagebay.com%2Fblog%2Fexit-intent-popups%2F&amp;psig=AOvVaw2t3T7AkTMHQw3KgCzHsOsY&amp;ust=1617699366775000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAMQjB1qFwoTCMiJyfTd5u8CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Two important factors you should consider when adding pop-ups to your site are &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>They should not be intrusive<\/li>\n<li>They are easy to dismiss if the user so chooses<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even if they don\u2019t have time to make a purchase at that point, an exit pop-up can still help as a call to action and a lead magnet. Always think about user experience.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><strong>3. Provide Opportunities for Interaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Interaction can improve engagement a lot. After all, it is a model that has worked well in education and other industries for many years. But how do we take something that works well in a school setting and make it work on our websites?<\/p>\n<p>One basic method of interaction with our customers is simple messaging, whether via social media or by using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/free-messaging-apps\/\">best texting app<\/a> available to allow for quick and easy communication.<\/p>\n<p>But the whole beauty of using <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/interactive-content-guide\">interactive content<\/a> is that it actually involves the customers in the ongoing journey and experience. They are not just looking at content, they are becoming part of that content, and that adds to enhancing their customer experience as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want users to just look at your content, you want them to engage with you too. Here are some ways you can encourage that:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Sharing<\/strong>. People like to share the things they find interesting and that they think others would appreciate. So don\u2019t make it difficult for them. Embed buttons on your page that would enable them to share the relevant page, article, products, etc. That means with one click, they can share your content on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more. And that helps increase your reach!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Pop quizzes<\/strong>. While some may feel pop quizzes are a little old-fashioned, they remain a great way of engaging and entertaining people. One quiz on Buzzfeed has been <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/interactive-content-future\">viewed more than 22 million times. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also easy to add to your site as there are <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/integrate-outgrow-apps\">many applications and plugins<\/a> that you can use. And if done correctly, they can help reinforce the information you want the reader to take.<\/p>\n<p>A quiz can also be a great way of generating leads. A customer is more likely to be focused on the quiz and its results and so more likely to willingly provide contact information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Polls<\/strong>. These can be useful not only in encouraging interaction but also in getting useful information from your users that can help you with future content and strategies. For example, you could have a poll on what type of content people prefer on your social media platforms. That could be a great way for you to see what they like and what they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-49826 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.2new-300x142.gif\" alt=\"exit intent\" width=\"785\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.2new-300x142.gif 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.2new-1024x484.gif 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/blog1.2new-768x363.gif 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Infographics<\/strong>. Site visitors love visuals, and infographics have always been a great way of giving information. You can make an infographic that is interactive too. The interactive part works by them being able to change the info they see as you hover or click on the content. For example, simply moving your mouse cursor can give you information on the <a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/new-york-city-skyline-tallest-midtown-manhattan\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">New York skyline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><strong>4. Target Keywords for the Right Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Using good SEO keywords is crucial to search rankings and people finding your site. But the main thing to understand about keywords is that they are not all equal, even if they appear to drive traffic to your site.<\/p>\n<p>What you want to be using are high-value keywords that bring qualified traffic to your website having a high potential of turning into paying customers. Those keywords should direct people to content that they want to read and that will encourage them to come to your site again and again, leading to both trust and brand awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, when you show the right content to the right people, your bounce rate is likely to reduce.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37870\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kywrds1.jpg\" alt=\"lower bounce rates\" width=\"882\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kywrds1.jpg 882w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kywrds1-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kywrds1-768x665.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.elegantthemes.com%2Fblog%2Ftips-tricks%2Fquick-and-simple-seo-keyword-research-tips-for-bloggers&amp;psig=AOvVaw1jRdAa_NpGh9tsvcZO8ovd&amp;ust=1617699443598000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAMQjB1qFwoTCMiEspje5u8CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are two types of keywords to think about; information-based and commercial-based. The former kind helps raise awareness and the latter feeds a desire for a product or service. It is the commercial ones that more often lead to sales, though both can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agilitypr.com\/pr-news\/public-relations\/9-best-practices-for-improving-your-seo-with-internal-linking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reduce bounce rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an ecommerce logistics company, for instance, your keyword research might find that potential customers are interested in how the order to cash (O2C) process works. A well-optimized blog post on the subject can not only grow traffic but also engage that traffic. Thus lowering bounce rate and increasing conversions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\"><strong>5. Show Off Your Credibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your job is to sell your product or service. Potential customers, though, may not know your brand and there can be an initial element of distrust. How do they know that all the benefits you have listed are genuine? Or that the product is as good as you say it is? You need to find ways to build trust and overcome those initial hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best way to increase your credibility is by letting visitors read positive testimonials that come from outside your company. That mainly involves reviews and recommendations from previous customers, but could also include reviews in independent magazines\/websites or any awards or certificates the product or company has been awarded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/crdblty1.jpg\" alt=\"Statistics\" width=\"1002\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/crdblty1.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/crdblty1-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/crdblty1-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"sitechecker_casdrwead_11wsd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyzowl.com%2Fwhy-testimonials-are-important%2F&amp;psig=AOvVaw2-QFY2DxqTrqRljSNVpY7d&amp;ust=1617699542675000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAMQjB1qFwoTCJDYpcje5u8CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAk\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can include links to independent websites that have reviewed your product, or you can add screenshots of personal reviews from customers that have appeared on different platforms.
